No my first thought was not to call the dean, my first thought was to see if anyone else is being forced to go to class over break.

So, did you call?

Funny story, I'm in the class that's scheduled to meet tomorrow, right now. I just double checked if it was mandatory, prof. chuckled and answered next student's question

You just fingered yourself as the rat...

If this call goes any way other than the professors, I was always the rat.

You are stupid.
No other way of putting it.
What, you honestly expected him to say: "Naw....I was just joking when I set that date."
Or "Nah, I like to set up trips where only a handful show up to."
And all this on top of:
Going to the OT first
Not even thinking of talking with Deans
Waiting till the day before to say ANYTHING.

Is the teacher in question a tenured professor?
Makes a huge difference. I know I had Paul Britt one year for Calculus and someone reported a dead week test to the dean on him. He stormed into our class the day of the test and bitched at us for reporting him and that he had tenure and we couldn't touch him. Then proceeded to give us the test and made a comment about making sure it was really hard. Dick.

No volvagia, it was a sarcastic remark.
I assure you I understand that this trip is mandatory.
Which is why I started this thread. It was a remark made in jest, to reaffirm his position once more, for the whole class to see his maleficent intention. I see you intend on tearing down my character though instead of addressing the point of the thread (and dare cast the stone of stupidity?) so I must grant you this one reply before I ignore you ad infinitum.

Yes, its a dual prof. class, and both teachers are highly esteemed in both their field and department.

Just got to man up and take it. Once you graduate that's how it is in the real world, and worse. Get used to it.

Yeah but this is at a University, the last stronghold for any sort of protest against the tyranny of our elders. I'd love to take the easy way out and just go on the trip, but I can't. I have to stand up for what I believe in, and I believe in getting drunk as frick and doing whatever else I see fit on my assigned days off of school. First they take fall break, then they knock a day off spring break. Pretty soon, everyones accepting less holidays and Hell, by the time my kids are in school they probably won't even get off for New Years.

The sooner you give up, get fat, married, take a sucky job, accept defeat, the better off you will be. All college does is suck the fight out of you so you will conform like the rest of us.

That's some bullshite, Lightning.

Do it. I had a professor who added an extra class period for graduate students and scheduled it for 7-9 am. When we protested, he said it was his class and could do whatever he wanted and we couldn't touch him he had tenure. He also said we would all fail, and at midterm grades he proved it, the entire class was failing. We got no credits for the extra 2 hours every week. Professors can be a bunch of dicks.
